I had spent sevâ€" eral winters in the cold of New On- tario, and had heard the old maxim, “Go West, young man, go West.” Deâ€" termined to see this west, I went to .Winnipeo. While there I chanced on a North- western paper teeming with adVer- tisements of Sunny Southern Alber- ta, so that I got to thinking, or rather dreaming of a banana belt in Canada. Dreams led to action, and likewise a ticket to Medicine Hat, 8. city on the main line of the C. P. Ry, east of Calgary. The name, Me- dicine Hat, is what attracted me, as wen as the description I had of it. I believe it was Rudyard Kipling who described it as having “All Hâ€" Sor 3 Basement,” presumably on ac- count of the vast pressure of natural gas found there. M. B. ANNIS. Oph. D» Mr. S. Dunbar, who has recently returned from Sunny Alberta, has given the Post his impressions of that section of the Great West in the following interesting article:â€" Office Open Saturday Evenings In our optical work And our prescriptions are filled by the most skilful lens manufacturers known to the trade. I had not travelled many miles ov- er the prairie before I began to rea- lize a something in the west which did not obtain in the east and which I could not then describe.

The chance travellers who got on and off the cars all had a. hurry and movement different entirely from the east, and I began to get vauainted with that “get” of which our neighbors to the south of us are known for the world over, in fact everything and eVery- one was “Going some.” In due time I arrived at Medicine Hat. It was night when I left the train, and what istruck me most was how well the 'city was lighted, and I might men- ftion here that the lights were let iburn night and day, as it was cheap- {er than turning them out mornings Eaud relighting them nights. The next day was spent 1n seeing the town. I had expected to see a wonderful country, but from the Hat. there was nothing to see but cut banks on all sides. All trains leaving the Hat need two engines to haul them out. An idea of the location of Medicine Hat is obtained by invertâ€" ing an ordinary straw hat, putting the city down in the crown, the brim representing the prairie or bench lands below. On the map it is shown on. the Saskatchewan River just west of the dividing line between Saskat- chewan and Alberta, and some 60 miles from the 49th parallel and the State of Montana. ed ‘rv the cattle ranchers with their large herds of cattle, tended by the real wild and woolly cow punchers, of whom a few remain even today, although not so wild or picturesque. The sway of the rancher is falling before the steady rush of the home- steader. To me it seems a. pity that the homesteader has been allowed to locate in this part of the Great Northwest, where there is so little rainfall, the average yearly fall being around 17: inches, including melting of snow, and where to farm successful- ly capital is needed, and a man must be a good farmer, and a scientific farmer, to make a living that is worth while. Dry farming is the only farming that can pay, and dry farm- in-g means, first and last, good farm- ing and scientific farming.

Coal is very plentiful around the Hat, but that is only of secondary importanc‘e as compared with the natural gas. There are some wells in and around the Hat, which can furn- ish 6,000,000 cubic feet of gas per 24 hours.

In most any village, town or city there are subdivisions from 2 to 10 miles from the post office, and this point always recalls to me a tale of At Medicine Hat there was a camp at the time of the rebellion, and many of the older heads can recall stirring events of those times. The first question asked me is, ”How do you like the West ?” and I invariably answer “Fine." To those who want money, go west, and those who are satisfied to go through life with. all the comforts of home, and .a reasonably good time, stay in good old Ontario. In the West money talks, and ev- eryone talks “money,” and good and loud at that. Get it honest if you can, but get it anyway. Real estate and money are the principal topics of- talk with nineâ€"tenths of the people nine-tenths oi the time, and' most of Sunday. res were taken up. The best grass of all the prairies, for grazing purposes grows here. Very few winters are there, that the cattle and horses can- not pick a living. and come out fat in the spring, and it this had been the case, the West would not have had to face the questiOn of. beef sup- ply, which it will have to face very soon. The supply would always have been more than enough for home con- sumption, and beef would not have reached the famine prices of from 28c to 35c. for steak.

Hopkins was called upon to witness the eath of office. Warden Bottum read and affirmed to, and a speech was demanded. “Last year there was a new gOWn for the Warden and this year there is a. new Bottum for the chair.” The first stood Robertson 5, Devitt 4, Southern 3, and Mulligan, Varcoe and Bottum 2, and Fee 1. On the second round Bottum was 6 and Rob- ertson 4, the others securing 2, while on the last vote Reeve Bottum ob- tained the necessary 10 and was elected.

The first business of importance was the election of a Warden.

There is no doubt that the scarcity of com- petent farm hands is the most ser- ious problem facing Canadian farm- ers at the present time, nor does the critical situation show much sign of improvement. If our farms are to be tilled as they should, and if we as people are to maintain our ascendancy among the producing nations, we must take measures to provide for an ample supply of farm laborers.
